Ok, I recognize that since starting HRT, I have reclaimed Bitch Mode, (estrogen, my old friend, how I've missed you), and I am crankier than advertised. So, perhaps my morning of aggravation is not so severe that it requires me to call in tactical airstrikes on #Dell and #Microsoft...but it just might.

Back in 2011, #UEFI Secure Boot, a mechanism for verifying PC bootloaders to ensure that unverified software can’t be loaded at startup was added to #Windows. It became a formal system requirement for installing Windows starting with Windows 11 in 2021.

#SecureBoot has relied on the same security certificates to verify bootloaders since 2011. But those original certificates are set to expire today, 06/24/2026.

@demon6 They really did. They absolutely know the memory allocation for old bios. I documented it for them in 2011. There is no excuse, outside of forcing computer sales, that justifies these files being exactly 64k too big. None.
